Davenport Hotel

Spokane's Finest Hotel Collection

An elegant union of new and historic, the Davenport Hotel and Davenport Tower convey a tale of persistence and panache. The Davenport Hotel, constructed in 1914 with horse carts and steam jacks, then filled with fine art and sparkling electroliers, it echoed the grandeur of an early-century ocean liner. In 2002, after the hotel narrowly escaped demolition, Walt and Karen Worthy completed a multi-million dollar renovation, retaining its priceless glamour.

Today, guests are awed by the soaring architecture and award-winning amenities of our downtown Spokane hotel. With custom-made beds draped in Frette linens, marble walk-in showers, and several premier diningoptions, the hotel has earned the AAA Four-Diamond Award, praise from Condé Nast, and a place on Expedia's list of the top ten hotels in America. As a guest of the TowerÃ¯Â¿Â½the Davenport's newest addition across the street from the historic hotelÃ¯Â¿Â½you'll relish exotic dÃ¯Â¿Â½cor, an additional indoor pool and Jacuzzi, and the Safari Room Fresh Grill and Bar.

Our family of fine hotels includes the boutique Hotel Lusso. This chic, Euro-style hotel is smaller and more intimate than either the Davenport Hotel or Davenport Tower, while embodying the same levels of quality, attention to detail, and outstanding levels of service that typify the Davenport Hotel Collection of fine hotel properties.

Established in 1914, the Davenport Hotel was famous from the outset as one of America's most luxurious hotels. Its early 20th century grandeur has been restored to a brilliant luster, and all the guest rooms and amenities have been modernized to the highest contemporary standards, with free wireless and wired Internet service in all rooms. Now it offers guests the best of both worlds Ã¯Â¿Â½ the opportunity to stay in an historic hotel, with all the modern accoutrements of 21st century luxury lodging.

An architectural landmark and masterpiece, the hotel's public spaces inspire visitors with their high, vaulted ceilings, exquisite European plaster, and fine detail. And yes, that is real gold leaf around the lobby fireplace Ã¯Â¿Â½ which is always lit Ã¯Â¿Â½ a Davenport tradition since the hotel was opened almost a century ago.

The tradition of world-class service established by Louis Davenport at the hotel's inception continues to this day.

The Davenport Hotel is a AAA four-diamond establishment, and is listed at 4.5 stars on both Expedia and TripAdvisor.

A Rich History

When it was planned in the early days of the 20th century, the objective of the founders was to make The Davenport Hotel the most luxurious and best-appointed hotel in the United States at that time Ã¯Â¿Â½ on par with Europe's grand hotels. According to contemporary reviews and newspaper articles, they succeeded spectacularly.

The Davenport Hotel was the first hotel in America with air conditioning, a central vacuum system, housekeeping carts, and accordion ballroom doors. Its restaurant featured the now-famous Crab Louie (named for founder Louis Davenport).

Many luminaries have stayed at our Spokane hotel throughout its long history. It's a thrill to be in this place steeped in history, and to realize that these same halls and rooms have enveloped such giants as Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, Mary Pickford, Clark Gable, John Philip Sousa, Lawrence Welk, Marian Anderson, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Benny Goodman -- to name just a few. The hotel also appears in the work of authors Zane Grey and Dashiell Hammett. Take a stroll back in time looking at the extensive selection of archive photos and artifacts from the hotel's past on display in the mezzanine.

The 21-floor Davenport Tower opened in January, 2007. Located just across the street from the historic hotel, the Tower offers 328 luxurious guest rooms and suites, for a combined 612 total guest rooms. Designed to be the perfect complement to the original hotel, the Tower captures a spirit of timeless world travel and luxury in the finest of Davenport traditions. Guests experience fine imported furnishings and decor, beautiful architecture, rich paintings, sculptures, and commissioned murals and stained glass art in the lobby.
